Question

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence

Answer 1

An electric motor is electric machinery that converts electrical energy supplied to it to mechanical energy.

It works on the principle of applying a magnetic field in electromagnetism.

A current-carrying loop is exposed to a magnetic field which results in torque.

The torque formed rotates the coil which is then followed by rotation of propellers as the current passes through the loop.

Explanation

An electric motor consist of a rotor- a moving part, commutator, brushes, axle, field-magnet, power supply and a stator- a part going around the rotor.

Answer 2

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the electric current in the loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.
